MGW short shift worth it?

Hey everyone. I've got a 2010 2SS and it's completely stock, 47k miles. I've been contemplating a short shift upgrade but just not sure if I should pull the trigger.

Has anyone regretted installing one? Is it that much better than the stock shifter?

Thanks!

I had the factory Hurst Short shifter and then went to a Barton and now to a MGW. MGW is by far the best. Kind of a pain to install but worth it.

MGW is worth it. Night and day even compared to the 1LE/Zl1 shifter

Haha wow. Sounds like an easy decision!! I watched the install vid and j can't lie - I got nervous. I've done a lot of work on my other cars (Miatas - don't laugh too hard ) but working on the Camaro makes me second guess myself.

Once I got mine I liked the feel. Much shorter, and I go into the gears much better, especially 2nd. Go for it !
